RSS Feed per User (Threads Created by User)

[ElForro]

Is there any possibility to get an RSS Feed from a Single User, showing the new threads that he creates? (not posts, only Threads created by that user)

I think you could probably do this in plugins by adding a &username= to the url and then using the hooks in external.php to add that username to the query. (I'd try it but I don't have time right now.)

I have to know... Has anyone done this in any version?

Well, since I've had more than 4 years I guess I have no more excuses. I tried it, and it works as far as selecting a user's threads, but the problem is that since the feeds are cached and the cache 'key' doesn't include userid, it doesn't really work. The only way I can think of to fix that using only plugins would be to turn off the caching. Otherwise, you'd have to make a modification to external.php. There might be some other clever way to do it that I haven't thought of yet.

In any case, if you want to do one of the things above that I have thought of, let me know.

Not to veer too far off-topic...what values (if you remember) does the key contain? I know you can set up a feed of a single forum. Can you set up a feed of a single thread?

I would love to work on this but I don't have the skill. I have some friends in a DEV shop. Maybe they can help. Let you know later on today...
